tobogganing
noun    (Concise Encyclopedia)
Sport of sliding down a snow-covered hill on a toboggan, a long, flat-bottomed sled made of thin boards curved up at the front end. The word is of Algonquian origin and probably refers to a towing sled. Tobogganing as a sport appears to have originated on the slopes of Mount Royal in Montreal in the late 19th century. In the early 20th century many tobogganing chutes (3-ft-wide wood- or ice-sided channels) were built.

Kids bring out the kid in me.  I haven’t gone  “tobogganing” since our kids were little.  It’s a lot of fun with the grandkids.

Big brother always there to help little brother.
Jacob was quite annoyed (left) he thought we “helped” him down the hill… Shawn hard at work.
Shawn discovered an easier way to go down the hill. Â Jacob gave up on the toboggan.
